## **THE MARK DAVIES INJURED RIDERS FUND TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2025**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of MDIRF for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements of the charity’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities FRSSE” effective January 2015.
The aim is to act as quickly and unobtrusively as possible according to the needs of the applicant and four steps are necessary to reach conclusion.
- 1 Local volunteer MDIRF representative assesses the applicant, obtains medical report and financial status as evidence of injury and degree of hardship as required.
- 2 Local representative discusses case with MDIRF National representatives, Mrs. Martha Ivory.
- 3 Referral to Trustees depending on level of grant
Most of the work of the MDIRF representatives is done entirely voluntarily. Travelling, telephone and postage expenses are offered to representatives.
The response to every applicant is flexible as the infinite variety and extent of affliction caused by an accident dictates and guidelines followed by MDIRF representatives have proved a reliable benchmark of need during the past 15 years.
A total of £32,593 was expended on beneficial advice and assistance for the charity’s clients. The total number of applications have been rising each year.
The charity has recorded a deficit for the year of £26,715.
Many of the MDIRF applicants do not require financial assistance, they need medical, legal or financial advice or to talk over problems arising from accidents. The MDIRF has access to experts in every field prepared to give their time voluntarily to advise and discuss difficulties faced by accident victims. Increasingly the charity staff and volunteers are spending time with clients enabling them to access funding and support available elsewhere rather than giving direct financial support. This provides an excellent outcome for the client as well as protecting the financial resources of the charity.
The MDIRF feels that it is invidious to detail names and amounts donated unless by special request and with the knowledge of the beneficiary.
The Trustees are extremely grateful to the representatives, honorary officers and staff either whom the trust could not operate.
There is no reserve policy in place detailing the designation of material funds or the timing of proposed expenditure.
The trustees have considered the major risks likely to impact on the charity and have systems and procedures in place to manage them.
**Page 3**
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice)
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments an estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate too presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations, made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
